The Holy Empire of Spring Waldorff is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, ban on automobiles, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, devout population of 1.615 billion Spring Waldorffians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Spring Waldorffian economy, worth 102 trillion Gold Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,347 Gold Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, pitchforks and torches are coming back into fashion, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Spring Waldorffian weed picker are way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spring Waldorff's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Spring Waldorff is ranked 117,752nd in the world and 5,942nd in Lazarus for Highest Average Incomes, with 63,347.34 Standard Monetary Units.
